A delegation from the planet Xherto arrives at Earth to demand immediate surrender, confident that Earthlings' emotional nature will make them easy to intimidate—but what they witness during their tour proves far more unsettling than any military force ever could. As Alpha, Earth's leader, casually shows off the civilization's ruthless practices, the visitors from Xherto begin to reconsider their entire mission. What started as a conquest becomes something far more troubling when the delegates realize they may have encountered something truly alien to their understanding.

The Whirlpool

Desperate to know if the warning is real or a product of his exhausted mind, Ed waits through the morning as the deadline approaches, unsure whether he should believe an alien force he can't prove exists.
